During 1853, Nerval had suffered three nervous breakdowns and spent five months in an asylum, and he saw Les Filles du Feu as an opportunity to show the public, his friends, and his father that he was sane. However, all of the short stories in Les Filles du Feu had been published previously: "Angélique" in Les Faux Saulniers (1850), "Sylvie" in La Revue des Deux Mondes (1853), and "Emilie," "Jemmy," "Isis," and "Octavie" in multiple reviews." - Wikipedia.
